I think you want something like this

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var global=5;
function SetGlobal(param){
global+=param;
return global;
}

function Process(){
alert("Origianl global = "+global+", new global = "+SetGlobal(5));
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body class="body">
<input type="button" value="process" onclick="Process()"/>

I am guessing that you meant by above statment "how to access a variable in a frame"?

if true then you first reference to the frameset page that holds all the frames info then you point to the frame where variable actually resides and then you access it

if you had a frame named
leftFrame, and this frame had a variable
var frameVal="Its left Frame";

you can access it from right frame like this

alert(parent.leftFrame.frameVal);

the ablve will show an alert box displaying the var value

try to understand what I wrote above it does exactly what you are asking,(you should be willing to learn rather have some one do it for you)
